Interim and fractional leaders

Hire an interim executive in Greece and Cyprus

A leader who has held the seat before, inside your company for as long as the situation needs, or for the days each week it can use.

Schedule a call How our vetting works

An interim executive takes a leadership seat for a defined period, a fractional one for a fixed number of days a week; unlike a consultant, both answer for what the function produces. In Greece and Cyprus the advertisement says maternity cover, twelve-month contract or external collaboration rather than interim. What usually brings one in:

A director resigns mid-year and the permanent search will take months
A deal closes and the fund wants its own people in finance and operations
A transformation needs an owner that the current team cannot spare
A seat matters but cannot yet justify a full-time hire

The interim executives on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals who have run functions in corporates, PE portfolio companies, foreign groups' local subsidiaries and family businesses, and many now work only this way. They cover the seats from chief executive and chief operating officer to finance, technology, commercial and security leadership.

What does an interim executive actually do?

Take the seat from day one, accountability included, with no settling-in period
Stabilise cash, customers and key people after the departure or the deal
Deliver the written mandate, whether a close, a sale, an integration or a growth plan
Repair the management rhythm so decisions get made and followed through
Report to the owners in their format and on their calendar, whether board, fund or parent
Recruit the permanent successor and leave on the agreed date

Mandate in writing
Asks for a written mandate with outcomes and an end date before starting, and reports against it.
The first month they ran

Picks interim or fractional
Can argue whether your seat needs full-time cover or a fixed number of days a week, and what the other would miss.
